How do I search for records in this particular XML file and display all the fields being searched???
The name of the xml file whose content is to be searched is "first.xml" and it is as follows:

<? xml version="1.0" ?>
<? xml:stylesheet type='text/xsl' href="sample.xsl" ?>
<DATABASE>

<RECORD>
<NAME>abc</NAME>
<AGE>24</AGE>
<DESIG>programmer</DESIG>
</RECORD>

<RECORD>
<NAME>xyz</NAME>
<AGE>45</AGE>
<DESIG>CEO</DESIG>
</RECORD>

</DATABASE>
.................................................. .................

Please help me. I am waiting for a favourable reply.

Do you want to search the records on some condition or display whole records in the XML file ?

I want to search the records based on some condition, for example-search for the record having the name as "abc" or search for records having designation as "programmer".

That's what XPath is for. Google for "XPath tutorial".
